As a fractional Product Designer, you will shape an AI-powered recruiting product that helps candidates connect with relevant opportunities and hiring teams discover talent. You will work directly with the founding and engineering teams, bringing design perspective to product decisions and helping ship useful, trustworthy experiences.
What You'll Do

Own design across product interfaces, candidate experiences, company dashboards, and conversational AI interactions.

What We're Looking For

At least 5 years of digital product design experience, including experience as a primary or sole designer at a startup.

Deep fluency in Figma, including product design and design system work.

A current portfolio demonstrating thoughtful, clear product design and shipped work.

Experience designing end-to-end flows for products serving multiple user groups, and building design systems from an early stage.

Experience with lightweight user research and effective async collaboration with minimal direction.

Recruiting, HR technology, talent marketplace, AI product, conversational interface, or broader marketplace experience is valuable.
